Can't help but post. We have laughed about it all weekend. I was contacting catering services and inquired about gluten-free options. I asked about the mashed potatoes, wanting to know if real potatoes, flakes or is anything added to them. When he said real potatoes and nothing added, I said great that is one thing I can eat. He proceeded to tell me "No, I whip my potatoes instead of beating them. This process causes them to become gluten containing." Can you believe this? So, is this guy totally nuts or since there are things that start non gluten-free and end up gluten-free (bourbon sauces, etc) is there a way for it to go in reverse? It has become a standing joke at this point but thought I'd share so we all could have a good laugh.

A little sinful? Perhaps. But, I believe everyone needs a few desserts under their belt if for no other reason than to break out on a rainy day. Homemade chocolate pudding is a nostalgic must-have and naturally gluten-free. Superfine sugar isn’t crucial, but it’s smoother and melts easier. The vanilla gives the whipped cream a little boost and can be made a few hours ahead of time. The pudding can be made up to 1 day ahead, but both are best served fresh.
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups bittersweet chocolate chips 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature 1 cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons cornstarch ¼ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons plus ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract 2 ½ cups whole milk ⅓ cup sugar, divided (superfine sugar if available)
Directions: In a medium saucepan, whisk together all but 1 tablespoon of sugar with cornstarch and salt. Whisk in ½ cup of milk and egg yolks until smooth. Slowly add the remaining milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly so not to boil over.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips, butter and ¼ teaspoon vanilla. Stir together until melted and smooth. Pour pudding into 6 ramekins or small bowls, or 1 large bowl and cover. Chill for at least 3 hours, but up to a day.
For topping, beat cream and the remaining sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until peaks form. Serve pudding with a dollop or two of whipped cream.

This is a recipe that you can't go wrong with. Easy to make, lightand healthy, no refined sugar, gluten, eggs, or dairy. What awonderful way to use all the berries that are popping up this summer.Try this recipe as it is written, or substitute with whatever berriesare abundant in your area.

This recipe comes to us from Catherine Walton.
1 ½ cups cashews: grind in blender 1 cup water: add to cashew mix, and blend until creamy 1 cup oil: add in a very slow stream, with blender running ¼ cup maple syrup or honey: add ½ teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (gluten-free brand): add A very rich whipped topping results. Taste test the topping this way and with the following additional ingredient, to come up with your preferred blend. 1 pkg. soft Nori-Mu tofu: blend with other ingredients (My family prefers this topping with the tofu added, and another benefit is that it goes a little further this way.) Keeps well in the fridge for a week, anyhow, weve never had it hang about any longer than that! Good on pumpkin pie, or fresh fruit, or on top of a cake. (Totally delicious eaten alone, in the wee hours of the night!)
